    Garage Room Divider

    Have no idea how expensive it might be but what about the track that mounts to the ceiling in hospitals for the privacy curtains around beds. I think the tack uses some kind of roller which allows the curtain to move smoothly. They probably have a lot of different cutain styles also.

Nice size wheels that rool well on concrete. Don't remember how much I paid but I think it was around $40 which i think...

    Bye Bye Monster Garage - Hello Motor City Motors

    I watched the show because of the tag line "Gasser" which has a lot of meaning if you were a gear head in the late 50's and early 60's. After watching for an hour my immediate reaction was "Thats an hour wasted that I can never get back." What was built was certainly not a "Gasser" and in my...

    Beware of gonefishing69, rodpartsdealer, and Gearhead Enterprises

    Thanks for the comments to all that posted. I do accept responsibility for having the wheels for a year before finding out they didn't fit. I full well realize I share some of the blame. However, what grated me the most though was the attitude that "This is all your fault" . Never once in any of...

    On 6/26/08 I purchased 4 each American Racing Torque Thrust "D" 15" diameter x 7" wide wheels from a company on e-bay which does business under names of gonefishing69, rodpartsdealer, Gearhead Enterprises and possibly others I am not aware of. I understand they also have booths at some car...

    Your Thoughts on Crossover SUVs

    I will second the Ford Escape if that is an option for you. We have a 2001 Escape V6 automatic transmission that now has 160,000 miles on it. It has proven to be trouble free other then a ignition coil that went bad at about 140,000 miles. My wife drives it daily on a 50 mile round trip to work...

    About a month ago while working out in the garage with the door open I heard a buzzing and though maybe it was a wasp. I had the lights on as it was right at dusk. Looking closer it was a hummingbird in between the lit flourecent light bulb tubes. I don't know if the hummingbird was seeking...

    Plastic Lined Lug Nut Sockets

    My mistake! The lug nuts go on a 93 Chevy S-10 pickup. The stud/thread size is 12mm but the socket size is 13/16".

    Plastic Lined Lug Nut Sockets

    Does anyone know if Craftsman makes a plastic lined 12mm lug nut socket? I thought purchasing one of these sockets to protect chrome plated lug nuts would be somewhat easy. However I'm having a difficult time finding one and have been greeted with blank stares and people telling me they have...

    Bench Top Sandblasters

    One of the bench top sand blast cabinets I am looking at uses 5.5 CFM which my small compressor can keep up with. The real question is what kind of performance does that equal? Will I be blasting forever to remove a light coat of rust or paint? Those that have used these small units what kind of...
